A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at St. Charles Condominium I would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
St. Charles Condominium I places 28 residences in a low-rise townhouse arrangement around West 137th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard. The ownership association is larger than the individual street entrances suggest. Duplex homes can occupy half a townhouse, with their own set-back entrances and interior stairs.
The condominium was trading by 1994. Its current ownership is widely dispersed, with no single owner holding more than one residence. The physical arrangement includes a gated outdoor parking area, an unusual element for a small Manhattan condominium close to St. Nicholas Park.
Architecture and unit composition
The homes extend across several street addresses within the condominium. Four-story height and individual entrances give the property a different circulation pattern from an apartment building entered through one central lobby. Residents of duplex layouts move between their own living and sleeping floors inside the home.
Three-bedroom duplexes include two bathrooms, eat-in kitchens and bedrooms on the upper level. A full bathroom on each floor appears in this configuration. Other homes are smaller, with interior areas around 1,000 square feet; larger residences reach approximately 1,350 square feet and beyond. Interior laundry is present in some duplexes.
The association's 28-residence count therefore applies to the entire condominium, not to a single townhouse doorway. That distinction also explains why sales can be recorded under the West 137th Street address while carrying an identifier associated with Frederick Douglass Boulevard.
Building operations
The condominium maintains shared property across a collection of low-rise homes, including the gated parking area. Ownership of an apartment and entitlement to a parking space are separate questions: the presence of the lot does not by itself entitle every residence to a space.
The property occupies substantially less floor area than the residential FAR listed for its zoning. This is a description of the existing development. Any future construction would involve the condominium's common property and governing documents as well as zoning; it is not an individual apartment owner's expansion allowance.
There is no building-wide tax abatement identified. Residential lots are all Class 2, so a townhouse-like entrance does not put these condominium homes in the tax class used for many separately owned one- to three-family houses.

What to know if you’re buying
Match the entrance address to the condominium interest. This association includes residences with both street and avenue identifiers. The apartment, any parking entitlement and its share of common expenses should all be tied to the same legal condominium interest; the appearance of a separate townhouse entrance does not mean the buyer owns a separate building.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
